  • Location shooting for sitcoms creates operational challenges despite being well-executed, as it disrupts the established rhythms and routines of studio-based production
  • Child actors on major productions must balance education requirements with filming schedules, often banking school hours to maximize free time during location shoots
  • Animal actors on professional sets require specialized trainers and handlers to ensure humane treatment, proper breaks, and professional performance standards
  • Pilot episodes often contain experimental creative choices that don't carry forward into series runs, reflecting the iterative nature of finding a show's identity

Come for the honesty, stay for the fire. Hey there, Tangeritos. Welcome back to How Rude Tangeritos, the podcast where we realize how much we've forgotten about our own show. We really do appreciate you, Fanaritos. We asked you for questions and you sent in such a good mix. Thank you so much for that. We love you guys. We pulled a bunch of your questions to go through today. So let's dive right in and see how many we can get to. Yes, so many good questions. I know you guys are so responsive and we do appreciate you taking the time to ask us these questions. So the first question, full house updates, rights. OK. Andrea, this is for me. Before the rewatch, you couldn't tell the difference between Mary Kate and Ashley. Do you see the difference now? Absolutely. I mean, once they grow out of their baby face stage, like it's much, much easier to identify them. It's much easier when they're side by side. It's very easy to identify them. But it's just one of them in a scene. It's a little harder, but no, I can tell now. It's the eyes. It's the eyes that are the giveaway where Ashley's are a little rounder, a little closer together and Mary Kate's are a little more wide set. Yeah. So, yeah, it's, you know, once when they're babies, no, I still can't tell them apart when they're big. But all babies kind of look the same. They look very similar. They also, yeah, they're all just sort of squishy. Squishy little blobs, little huggable blobs. But yeah, but no, it is it is nice being able to tell them apart now. So OK. But let's see. Here we go. This is a popular question. A lot of people have asked it. Do you have memories of filming the opening credits either for season one or of the final season in San Francisco? How do you film in a car? Was there a drone or was it a green screen? Something else? Oh, my dear friends, we did not have drones in these days. Season one. No, no. This is, yeah, no, there were no drones. But it was like the shots that you see of going over the bridge and stuff. Those are helicopter shots. Those are shot from helicopters that, you know, studios, whatever you would rent and just get the far away footage you need of something like that. But it is not us in the in the car going over the bridge that on either of those seasons, I don't think so. No. Like the final pull away. Yeah, I think those were the it's it's not us. It is they got close ups of us shooting it in Griffith Park. And trying to remember they usually they can mount a camera like on the side of a car or on the front or you can be pulled by it. And the camera is shooting in. There's all different kinds of ways that you can shoot a car when it's moving. But you don't have to go very fast because it looks way faster on camera. So you go pretty slow and it looks like you're, you know, driving at a relatively normal speed. Nice. But I do remember that. And then I remember our final or not our final, but like the last season, when we shot our our outdoor San Francisco. What were what were you doing in yours? I remember I think I was just walking along like the sort of down by Oh, by the water, Fisherman's Wharf kind of down by the water. Yeah, that's right. You're wearing a like a blue blue dress and a blue sweater. And it was windy. Yeah. OK. And I was in the sun and which I don't do well with. Yeah. Oh, that's right. That was you look very grown up in that in that final season. And I was standing next to a hot dog cart holding a hot dog or putting mustard or ketchup on the hot dog. Right. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I remember it being very windy and cold. That I mean, that's San Francisco. So that's like every day. It's windy and cold. Yeah. So yeah, that was gosh, that was. Yeah, that was a long time ago. But I do remember it's always fun and scary going on location to shoot anything. But. Oh, yeah. The joke is always you don't take a sitcom out of the stage because sitcoms are kind of a, you know, a well oiled machine. We got our rhythm. We have our thing. Everybody knows. And it's, you know, it's not like shooting other things where you're on location all the time. This it's like, oh, OK, we got to we got to go get outside. Yeah. Yeah. So it kind of it just throws everybody. It's really interesting. Not that we don't do the job just as effectively, but it definitely is a little more frazzled and harried when we're not on the stage in our usual. Yeah, absolutely. No, we're used to our routines. And then when any one little thing is off, not to mention the whole thing, it just throws everybody for a loop. That's OK. Yeah. OK, so next, Laurie roast 2003 and Albert, Jr. 911 would like to know your process for preparing for this podcast. And where do the very detailed descriptions of each episode come? Great question. Huge shout out to producer Jackie, who writes the very detailed recaps that I read. Yes, every week. It is a labor of love. I have filled in for producers in the past doing the recaps. And it is so tedious and so time consuming. So huge shout out to Jackie, who does that for us? It's great. So I always take that rundown and I make my own copy so I can put my own notes into it and kind of tinker. I kind of change up the intro sometimes or put my own little little spin on it. And then I watch each episode twice, once just all the way through, just enjoying the episode. And then the second time, I'll like, start, stop, start, stop and write my notes as I watch along. That's my that's my podcast prep. I look at IMDB for information about guest stars. Use the wiki page to look up trivia or facts or whatever, anything. You know, why? Why is what? What is macaroni in the Yankee Doodle song? Like, I'll look up all sorts of just interesting, fascinating things like that. And that's that's my process. That's my podcast prep process. I love it. What? Let's just. You watch the episode. You watch the episode. I do. I watch the I watch the episodes. Sometimes I'll watch them twice. But usually, yeah, I'll watch the episode, make a couple notes. I mean, most of me is just being over here. You know, you're the funny. Yes, you're the funny. Yeah. But but no, I definitely like I will if there's like a guest star or something, I'm like, I don't remember who this person is. I'll kind of look up some stuff and, you know, but yeah, you are. I mean, we have our strength. We each have our strength. Now I feel bad. Now I feel bad. Look at all the work we do. And then. Yeah. Like, we all have our strengths and mine is in the preparation and yours is in bringing the funny and tying it all together. So, yes, we each bring something very valuable to the table. Thanks. I'm afraid I might lose it. So funny. No gloss, no filter, just stories, spoken without fear. Addiction is a disease and it should be looked upon as any other disease. How did you cope with a reckless father like me? Join me, Pooja Bhatt, as I sit down every week with directors, actors, musicians, technicians and beyond. You don't need to work with the biggest people in the biggest sound to have great music. I have gone through the sub-CD. The pinnacle stung by the sneaker. I've fallen down again. Yeah. I am not writing actively anymore and when I see my old work it kind of saddens me. I'm only as good as the last shot that I gave. Mom's gone but don't shut the theatre. The show must go on. Listen to my weekly podcast, the Pooja Bhatt show on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Come for the honesty. Stay for the fire. Juhai Lovato Swift 22 wants to know, what did you guys think about filming the Disney Park episodes on location? What's the process like? Did you actually get to play or was it all worth it? Aha. That was an amazing trip. I can't wait for us to get to those episodes because I'm hoping it'll jog my memory even more than the two stories that I tell about it all the time. Yeah. It was two weeks in Florida to do the two-parter. The mouse meets the house and it was so fun. It was, I mean, it's work, of course. But for us just being all together, it's so fun. It was so much fun. It was like a giant family vacation and it was work for sure and we were in school. Yes, we still had to do school. We still, although were you still? I was still in school. You guys hadn't graduated. I was in high school. So yeah, we still had to do school. So we would be in like the concierge lounge or whatever for a few hours a day in the hotel doing our homework and making sure that we still got all that done with our teachers and everything. And then we did, we had time to go to dinners and go. I mean, we got VIP guides and we were able to do some really, really incredible things. That was great. Kind of, yeah, yeah, sort of like magic like you'd never get. Yeah. Otherwise, it was so cool. I remember us trying to bank school hours too, so we didn't have to spend all three hours every day. I'll do five today. No, we'll do five today. We'll do five the next day just so we could have like a whole free day to do whatever we wanted. Yeah. What else do I remember? I remember the crowds like they would have to block off certain parts of the park so that we could shoot the episode. We couldn't close it down. Yeah. So you had to shoot while also it would look weird if it was just the Tanner's. You know, actually, just the Tanner's it isn't. And you know, they rented out the whole park. But yeah, people would just stand and go. Very visual kind of my first experience. And I remember being really uncomfortable with people taking pictures. Candidate, like without me knowing and feeling like I remember feeling sort of like a. Yeah. It's very disconcerting, even as an adult, but especially as a kid. And it's people mean well, like they're not doing anything wrong. You know, they weren't doing anything wrong, but it does your because you're kind of like in this little cordoned off area and there's nowhere to go. And you people are looking at you and talking and you're like, I don't. I feel. Yeah, well, because we're you story stage where it's just, you know, just the 250 of us that work on the show and nobody else. Well, except the studio audience, but they're there to watch us. So yeah, no, it's very disconcerting. But that was I did have the there was the the autograph under the stall moment at Disney World restroom incident. There was the the lady yelling at me because we couldn't sign autograph. Oh, yeah, that's right. In the Indiana Jones, the Indiana Jones thing, when they were trying to clear area. Right. She yelled at me. That's so sad. So there was a couple of good memories and bad memories. The biggest place on earth. Everyone's going to know those were like the only two things that like happened. Otherwise, we had the best time and it was it was crazy to be on the show and in the park at that time because it was. Peak Full House and you are at a place where your target audience is. Target demographic is all around us. Yeah. Yeah. And I remember feeling like the I wouldn't call it stress, but like the stress from did the Disney employees trying to keep the magic like because we saw so much of the backstage areas that nobody is supposed to write the characters are supposed to keep their heads on at all times, which was awkward when the white rabbit fainted at the tea party and they were like dragging a lot and take off his head because they didn't want more like yeah, the man breathe, you know, to Disney. That's a Disney rule. Yeah, they don't. That's wild. Well, we I want to want to blow all of the stories because we've got other stories. OK, we'll save some for whenever we get to those episodes. Save some when we get there. Those are teasers. It was amazing. Yeah, yeah. Super amazing. OK, moving right along, Little Sunny D. Oh, seven is curious if you could have chosen any 90s teenage celebrity of the day to be a regular on Full House with you, who would it be? Hmm. I picked my ambiolic blossom, OK, six. I chose blossom because she could be like a rival for DJ, like as the lead, the best friend or whatever. But but she's got that quirky energy. So I think she'd be very compatible with Kimmy. So yeah, I would choose. I like it. I'm going I'm going with Danielle. Oh, Daniel Fischel. I'm going with Daniel. Jennifer, you need a Jennifer. Jennifer, full time Jennifer. We needed a full time Jennifer. Yeah, that's a great one. And she would have fit in so well with me and Marla, you know, to me, it would have been just like a good. Yeah, she would have been she would have been she was. Yes, if it hadn't been for that pesky boy meets world, she would have been a great addition. Damn it. Yeah. To our show, because yeah, she fit in very naturally. No gloss, no filter, just stories, spoken without fear. Addiction is a disease and it should be looked upon as any other disease. How did you cope with a reckless father like me? Join me, Pooja Bhatt, as I sit down every week with directors, actors, musicians, technicians and beyond. You don't need to work with the biggest people in the biggest sound to have great music. I have gone through the sub city. The chakka reached the pinnacle stung by the sneaker. I've fallen down again. Yeah, I am not writing actively anymore. And when I see my old work, it kind of saddens me. I'm only as good as the last shot that I gave. Mom's gone, but don't shut the theater. The show must go on. Listen to my weekly podcast, the Pooja Bhatt show on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Come for the honesty. Stay for the fire. OK, oh, this is a great question for you. This is from Mr. Birdman, 1989. Also, that's not the reason why it's a great question for you, but he is Mr. Birdman. So classic. Anyway, he wonders who you would have liked to portray Kimmy Gibbler's parents. Well, I've always said Martin Shorty, and Jane Lynch would be a mate like the gold standard of Gibbler parents, as far as wackiness, but loveability. But I'm going to change it slightly. I'm going to change it to Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara, rest in peace, because like they would just be so eccentric and chaotic and dramatic. And I think Moira Rose would be an amazing Mrs. Gibbler. She would be a great actress. Rose would be an amazing Mrs. Gibbler. She would be. Oh, she would bring the eccentricity to the role. And yeah, yeah. But you know, I'm I'm going to aim high. I'm aiming high for the Gibbler parents. You know, I've got I want some big A-listers to come in there swinging. I like it. I like it. But like I can also see Martin Short and Jane Lynch together in sort of the the funny balloons going off. What was your what did you do that? I don't know. I made the peace sign. I think what it is. I don't know. Sorry, guys, I've been interrupted by balloons. Martin Short and Jane Lynch. Yeah, because he's, you know, a smaller. She's taught like it would just be a funny and they're brilliant. Visually, it would be funny. They're acting. You know, would be off the charts. So yeah, yeah, that's my answer. It'll change next time I get asked that. I will come up with another answer. There you go. OK. Moving along, Lea, 8572, shares a universal question. Tell us about Comet. What is it like working with or having a dog on the show? Was it always the same dog? And what was his or her name in real life? Oh, Comet. So Comet was Comet. That was his real name. And he was one of the puppies. Oh, yeah, he was from the litter. Because I think they did the same thing with Cosmo, too. When we did Fuller, they had all those puppies on and then they just had like one of those dogs was the dog that they used. Oh, right. But but yeah, Comet, his real name was Comet. Such a good boy. He was, yes, he was a boy and so well trained. Such a good boy. I mean, Goldin's are amazing dogs anyway. But they had animal actors. Was the company that had trainers and things with the animals on set to make sure that all the humane rules and that they get breaks in food and that they're not being hurt or anything. And they had such lovely trainers who were so sweet and would bring other animals to the set, maybe leopards and raccoons. Oh, amazing. Yeah. Just whatever they had on hand. The raccophobia spiders. So great. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A wolf. It was like our that was our like our biology class for the day. It was like, yeah, it was our outdoor nature class. Amazing. Such cool experiences. But yeah, Comet was he was like the best. Comet was probably the most well behaved on the show. Definitely the most professional on the show of all. Yeah, that dog just walked in, hit his mark, did his thing and not a one of us could claim that. Yeah. But no, such a good boy. And he left. Yeah. It was always the same dog. He went to do airbud. Yes, he went to do airbud and they had to die his hair to make him look more like an Irish setter. And he just didn't he didn't look like Comet anymore. He was he was kind of. Yeah. Yeah. And so they brought in another dog who had also been training. It was kind of the same litter, I think. And his name was Bob. That was not confusing at all. We had Bob the dog. Yeah, Bob the dog, Bob the Bob. There were a lot of Bob's on the show. Bob Osterman, Bobby Bennett, Bob Squire, Bob Boyette. There was just lots of Bob's, very popular name in the 90s. Yes. But yes, we love Comet and and he was he was a good boy. He was a good boy. So was Cosmo. I'm full of you. I know we lost Cosmo right before we wrapped the series like just two weeks before the end of the series. And that was so sad when they came to tell us just suddenly. Yeah, they were we have something to tell you. And they came and told us it was so sad. That's why if we had to go tell the kids to tell the kids. And that's why Elias we were like, can we tell the kids? That final curtain call Elias is holding a picture of Cosmo. And he's crying. Crying. And that's why. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he was really attached to that dog. So sad. Yeah. It's wonderful having a dog on the show. I mean, they're they're working. And so, you know, you can't mess up with them when they're working. But then the trainers will be like, OK, relax, you know, and you can come over and pet them and talk to them. And yeah, it was like, you know, having our set. It's so nice. And that's golden. Golden retrievers are great dogs. They're so trainable. But that also came from Jeff Franklin, because he himself has had many goldens in his life. And so he wanted the tanners to have a golden as well. Yep. Oh, love it. All right. Do we have time for one more? A couple more. Let's see. What do we got? I think we got time for I got time for one more. How? Oh, here we go. Yeah, let's do this one. This one's this one's a good. Amari Rickards. She said, I've thought about this for years. Why in the world did Stephanie have a British accent at the beginning of Fuller? Was that a Jodie sweet in choice or what? No, no, it was not. It was definitely not. How do you how do you how did you feel about that, Jodie? Well, you know, I was like, what? Yeah, you know, I kind of knew it was coming, but I was like, OK, well, but then it was like through the majority of the show. I was like, I don't I don't have great accent work, guys. They had somebody come in, I think, for like one day of the week to like help. And I tried, but it's. Accent, they're really hard. Yeah, I'm glad it didn't last beyond that first episode. It was such a I don't I don't know. I mean, it was an odd choice. It was not my choice. I think it was meant to imply that like Steph's been gone so long. Yes, that she has like, you know, been overseas for such a long time that she even sounds yes, I think that was sort of the implication. But like Stephanie's well traveled and unencumbered. She doesn't have kids. She's just traveling the world and being a DJ. I think that was all part of it. But it's strange. And your accent, I thought you did fine. You did great, but it's still just that's not Stephanie. So it was just straight. Yeah, it was strange. Oh, I just remember saying water. Oh, yeah, water. Did you pass the water? Yeah, or the water, something they had right. And there was no tea or something. Yeah, there was that. There's that one word that's just like, what are you trying to say? Yeah, no, not not my first choice, guys. But yeah, the pilot of Fuller is just a weird bag of like they threw everything at it. It was like, let's cram as much. We don't forget this chance again. So it's people loved it. Yeah, they do. But I throw a dog in there and a British accent. Every cast member. Yeah, yeah, all of the cast. Every entrance got a scream from the audience. Yeah, there was just all the catchphrases. The series improves as it goes on, in my opinion. So the pilot is special. It's special in its own ways. It was fun. It was fun. But I'm very glad that I did not have to have a British accent for the entire show. I mean, I would have definitely had to do some more preparation. I think that would have just been distracting. You know, just like, why does Stephanie have an accent? They just want Steph. So, yeah. Anyways, got it. All right. One more. We have one more. One more. OK. Keana Lavallee from Canada. I'm sure it's pronounced maybe more French than I am saying it. Maybe or maybe I'm totally wrong. Anyway, Keana from Canada would like to know what your favorite colors are. And Stephanie and Kimmy have favorite colors. Good question. What is your favorite color? I don't think I know this. My favorite color. I've got a few. I like like rich, jewel tone colors, deep blues, deep purples. Like, yeah, those kind of colors. But I also I'm a big pink. Really? I would not peg you as a pink girl. I know. Interesting. Right. How did I not know that about you? I figure, you know, dark enough. Yeah, you got to balance it out. I think there's somewhere in there. It's unexpected, really. Yeah. My favorite color. But Stephanie Stephanie's favorite color, I think would be purple. Oh, yeah. She does say that in that in the episode we just watched, she tells you to go buy or something purple in which. Yes, that's why I'm like, OK, she likes that. And she does wear a fair amount of purple. So I think that's good. I like that. My favorite color is I've always said blue, but it's more like a teal, like a like a dark, a deep teal, greenish blue. I don't know. I just like anything in the blue family. I like like an aquamarine. I would say that's my favorite. And Kimmy's favorite color is it's probably a pattern. Like it's probably a mismatched. It's not. It's leopard. It is Kimmy's favorite favorite color. She can't be limited to just one color. She needs all of them. Rainbow rainbow is her favorite. Yes. I mean, plaid was your favorite color for a while. So it is. What do you mean was still is, baby? Yes. Well, those were such great questions, you guys. Thank you so much for joining us for our fun little mini. So we love it. We love doing these.

I just just in a room full of dogs. That's how I feel when I go to Jeff Franklin's house and they're the two goldens. I know they're so great. Anyway, yep. Love it. Golden's. Petty dogs everywhere.
